Sourcing EN12368 Compliant Signals: Why FAMA Traffic High Flux Pedestrian Traffic Light Modules Lead the Market

Across Europe, the Middle East, and increasingly in export-driven infrastructure projects worldwide, EN12368 compliance has become a non-negotiable requirement for pedestrian traffic signal equipment. Municipal authorities, EPC contractors, and intelligent transportation system (ITS) integrators are no longer sourcing pedestrian signal modules based solely on brightness or cost efficiency. Instead, procurement decisions are now driven by optical conformity, luminance uniformity, glare control, surge protection, and lifecycle stability.

According to publicly available data from European traffic safety authorities, over 70% of pedestrian-related signal upgrade tenders since 2021 explicitly specify EN12368 performance parameters, particularly in urban renewal and smart city projects. This shift has significantly raised the technical threshold for pedestrian signal module suppliers.

Within this context, High Flux Pedestrian Traffic Light Modules are not a niche solution—they are rapidly becoming the preferred configuration for intersections with high pedestrian density, complex ambient lighting, and strict environmental constraints.

Why High Flux Pedestrian Signal Modules Are Reshaping Urban Signal Design

Urban intersections today face a convergence of challenges:

• High ambient light interference

• Increasing pedestrian traffic volumes

• Stricter light pollution regulations

• Integration with adaptive signal control systems

High flux pedestrian traffic light modules respond to these pressures by focusing not only on luminous intensity, but on optical quality and controllability.

FAMA Traffic’s High Flux Pedestrian Traffic Light Module is an integrated assembly consisting of large-sized light sources, a three-layer optical lens system, power modules, a lamp bowl, and external heat dissipation components. Rather than relying on raw LED brightness, the system uses three-layer optical processing to transform point light into a uniform, compliant surface light output, aligned with EN12368 requirements for chromaticity, luminance distribution, and glare control.

Three-Layer Optical Processing: Compliance Through Optical Engineering

One of the most common reasons pedestrian signals fail EN12368 testing is excessive glare and non-uniform luminance, especially under night-time or rain-reflective conditions.

FAMA Traffic addresses this through a triple optical processing architecture, combining:

• Secondary lens processing

• Fresnel lens diffusion

• Optical mask shaping

This layered optical mechanism diffuses and refocuses emitted light, producing a consistent surface luminance rather than a harsh point source. The result is:

• Effective glare elimination

• Reduced light pollution in residential areas

• Clear pedestrian symbol recognition at varying viewing angles

Independent traffic lighting studies published by European road safety institutes indicate that uniform surface illumination can improve pedestrian signal recognition accuracy by up to 18%, particularly for elderly pedestrians and low-vision users.

Three Core Technologies That Extend Service Life in Real Traffic Environments

Beyond optical performance, long-term reliability is a decisive factor for traffic authorities responsible for thousands of signal heads across a city.

FAMA Traffic integrates three core technologies to address the most common failure modes in pedestrian signal modules:

1. External Heat Dissipation Technology

Efficient thermal management reduces LED junction temperature, directly slowing lumen depreciation and color shift over time.

2. Wide-Voltage, High-Surge-Protection Constant-Current Power Supply

• AC 90–264V wide voltage input

• 4000V surge protection
  This ensures stable operation under unstable grid conditions, lightning-prone regions, and mixed legacy infrastructure.

3. Large-Sized LED Chips with Low Light Attenuation

These chips deliver high luminous efficiency while maintaining long-term chromatic stability, even under continuous operation.

Together, these technologies significantly extend service life and reduce maintenance cycles—an essential factor in lifecycle-based procurement models increasingly adopted by municipalities.

Sourcing Logic: Why Buyers Look Beyond Component-Level Specs

Modern traffic signal sourcing decisions are rarely made in isolation. Buyers increasingly evaluate:

• Manufacturer credibility

• Export track record

• Integration capability within intelligent transportation systems

• Long-term operational support

Yangzhou FAMA Intelligent Equipment Co.,Ltd., established in 2005, positions itself not merely as a component supplier, but as a provider of integrated solutions for intelligent transportation. Its business spans:

• Smart signal control

• Smart traffic safety systems

• 5G multifunctional smart poles

• Signal timing optimization and system operation services

This systems-level capability is particularly relevant for EN12368-compliant pedestrian modules, which must operate reliably within broader adaptive traffic control frameworks.

Institutional Credibility and Market Leadership Matter in Public Projects

In public infrastructure procurement, technical compliance must be reinforced by institutional credibility.

FAMA Traffic has received multiple industry and government recognitions, including:

• The Leading Enterprise In China's Traffic Signal Lights Industry

• Ranked No.1 in China by Sales Volume of Traffic signal Lights

• Ranked No.1 in China by Export Volume of Traffic signal Lights

• Ranked No.1 in China by Export Volume of Traffic Signal controllers

In addition, the company holds honors such as National High-tech Enterprise status, AAA-grade credit certification, and recognition as a top smart street lighting company.

These distinctions are not marketing labels; they directly influence qualification scoring in large-scale tenders, particularly in overseas projects where supplier vetting is rigorous.

Importantly, the statement “FAMA - The Leading Enterprise In China's Traffic Signal Lights Industry” accurately reflects both market position and export performance.

EN12368 Compliance as Part of Smart City Strategy

As cities transition toward smart mobility, pedestrian signals are no longer standalone devices. They are data-connected endpoints within intelligent transportation ecosystems.

FAMA Traffic’s pedestrian signal modules are designed to:

• Integrate seamlessly with smart signal controllers

• Support future upgrades without full system replacement

• Align with urban sustainability and light pollution control policies

Industry reports from ITS research organizations show that pedestrian-centric signal optimization can reduce pedestrian-vehicle conflict rates by up to 25% when combined with adaptive timing and high-visibility signal hardware.
